saurkraut made 2 months ago any good?

[bluebell]

i made some saurkraut about 2 months ago and i've just left it sitting on my counter top with a heavy weight on top. i've not even dared to look at it : so i was just wondering if this was going to be any good or should i just throw it away and start again. i only made it with cabbage and salt - no lacto fermenting foods. so what do you think?

thanks.

Sniff and taste. Maybe remove the very top cm if it looks dodgy. Some of my best saurkrauts have been even older than two months (though I keep mine in the fridge) and sometimes there are distinct changes in flavour as you go deeper.

So no, don't chuck it out before you've checked it out. You might just get a lovely surprise.

According to everything I've read, the best sauerkraut is left to ferment for weeks and even months. I can't attest to that, as we can never leave it to sit that long before devouring it.
